At long last we have completed the refit and departed Piriapolis, making a swift and joyful passage to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
XPLORE looks more fabulous than ever, and has attracted the attention of sailors young and old here at the Yacht Club Argentino.
Earlier today several of the hundreds of junior sailors here for an Opti regatta were invited aboard by Skipper Stephen. After a talk and ‘Q&A’ (
How fast can you go? What is the most wind you’ve had? What kind of animals do you see?) they enjoyed a tour below decks, which drew ‘oohs’ and ‘ahs’ from the youngsters, who came from all over South America to compete in the championship regatta.
The bulk of the refit is done but there is much to do still before we depart Buenos Aires later this next week. Next stop: Punta Arenas, Chile! ~ Betsy
